Choice book 3rd quarter

I will be reading Friday Night Lights by H.G. Bissinger. I chose to read this book because I've always been fascinated by how seriously Texas thinks about football and I love playing football so I thought it would be entertaining.

Hyenas

The first thing that stood out to me was when he killed the hyena.  It probably stood out to me because he killed it in a cool way, I thought hitting the hyena in the kidney would just make it angry not kill it, It stuck out to me because I learned something too.

The next thing that stood out to me was when she said that her dad was 10 or 11 feet tall.  I'm sure he wasn't actually that tall but it was just funny to me so it stood out the most.  If this kid saw Ms. Bennet then he would probably say she was 15 feet tall.

The last thing that stuck out was the people killing everyone.  I don't understand how some people can be so heartless and just kill random people without a good reason.  That was shocking so that is why it stood out.

Socheat's essay [questions]

1.)  Socheat thinks that Cambodia is a poor country that doesn't care about the people.  She says that the police let the rich people get away with anything because they pay the police to do so.  She also says that some students don't even go to class and the teachers don't care.

2.)  a.  Was it hard to leave your friends? (I asked this because for me I would have a difficult time.)
b.  Who did you live with when your parents were in America? (I asked this because I'm just curious.)

3.)  They are similar because they are both from the same country, also they ran away from the bad situations to come to America.  They are different because Socheat doesn't say she had any restrictions in America like Sundara, also Socheat wants to go back home and Sundara does not.
